  Notes:

  1. The Aggregate External Finance figures given above are as announced in the annual Local Government Finance settlements and have not been adjusted for any subsequent transfers of responsibility. Therefore, comparison between individual years should be treated with caution. For example, in 2006-07 responsibility for the implementation of the national concessionary fares scheme transferred from local authorities to Transport Scotland. This resulted in £79.338 million being removed from the 2006-07 AEF total. Allowing for this transfer, the adjusted all-Scotland total increase would have been 3.9 per cent as opposed to the 2.9 per cent. Within these all-Scotland totals the grant floor mechanism guaranteed that all local authorities received an increase of at least 2 per cent between 2005-06 and 2006-07.

  2. The population figures used to calculate the per capita figures are the General Register Office of Scotland’s mid-year estimates for the year in question or the most recent available, in the case of 2006-07.
